THs Essence OF THE FISHERY DIS
PrTE.-A reciprocity treaty such as
that which expired in 1885 would
give to the New England fishermen
all the psivileges.whick the,Canadians
themselves enjoy or their own waters.
Uuderf reciprocity New England
fishermen can FISH within the three
mile limit from which they are now
excluded by treaty. They can land
their fish caught in Canada on Cana
dian shores and transmit them by
rail across Canadian Territory to the
markets of the United States. All
the Canadians ask, or ever have asked,
in return for these privileges is that
they may not be excluded from
American markets by protective
tariff on their fish while the fish
caught in Canadian waters by New
England fishermen and transported
through Canada are admitted free OF
duty.
This is the whole question at issue,
and New England statesmen in Con-
gress can make nothing else out OF 1t.
The New England fishermen desire
to secure by the threat of an embargo
all the privileges of reciprocity while
retaining all the advantages OF pol
icy Of exclusions. They want to catch
free fish in Canadian waters and at
the same time monopolize the Amer
lean market. What is astonishing is
that an American Congress should be
led into bulldozing neighbor with a
threat of commercial warfare in order
to maintain such All unjust demand.

the railroad measures yet proposed. 1t
cuts down charges specifically on grain,
iumber, fruit and other freighs of this
class about one.half below the present Or.

and provides that all other frcights shall
be carried AT the same rates The bill thus
abolishes classification and makes charge
on merchandise precisely the same as for

of Mr.. Duncan Graham, of Irwin

chicken, few into the house, and,
lighting on the bedstead, proceeded
to devour its prey. Mr.. Graham

His good wife was there, however,
and instead of fainting, as most
women would have done, she closed

master of the situation, she having

And hand the good Book here:

And all its gOOdly company

She was saint 1 know and died
With Bible armor on;
Thank God Her children learned

Who was the Way, the Light,

And father-well, he's gone, dear,
But many word he said,
That sober, ne'er had held the
power,
10 bow that gentle head
But this old book held balm to heal
The solest wounds the heart
could feel.
And so some folks are trying
To write the Bible down!
Well, haven't they tried for ages
With sword, end fame, and
crown?
And isn't the rock ss firm as when
The Prince Of Princes died for
men?
There's nothing in this world, dear,
Would nerve my old right arm,
Like seeing puny man stand up
And bring that book to harm;
l know, dear, what the Master
says,
But must love his enemies!
Thou dear old Book ! my mothers
stay,
The rest of saints for ages,
The will of God, the love of Christ
Shine from thy deathless pages /;
Heavens peace! what angel could
have told
In lines of light, in words OF
gold?
Here, Betsy, put the good Book up.
Nor tell me e'er again,
They try to write the Bible down !;

When Good himself shall talsify,
And not till then, His Word
shall die.

sun is full Of FIRE, and there is blood
on the face If the moon, as farmer
Thos. Mckee, Of wilkins township
in this county, seems to believe.
His home, two miles from the VIII
lage of Turtle Creek, has been the
scene of some mighty mysterious
manifestations. Mckee Is sixty
years old, has lived 10 this vicinity
forty-fve years and in his present
home twenty years. He Is regard.
ed as one of the most reliable and
reputable United Presbyterian In
the country. He, his wife and q
grandniece aged fifteen, together
with hired man, comprise the
family. They tell q remarkable
story. Each of them is ready to
swear that he or she knows noths
ing whatever of the cause OF GER
tain appearances Of witchcraft
which have for ten days made their
home pandemonium. Ten days
ago the trouble began. While all
were away from the house, and the
doors and windows were fastened,
things were turned topsy.turvy in>
doors. The family subsequently
found their clock and other goods
out in the garden. Each success
i've day things grew worse. Mrs.
Mckee four days ago carried one
of two cans of cream up from the
cellar through the only possible
egress went right back for the
other and failed to End it. Going
! up stairs again, she proceeded to
the door-yard and found the can of
cream overturned and empty
There was nobody to be found
within three-fourths of a mile of
the house. On Friday of this week
Mrs. Mckee and a neighbor were
sitting in the house together. Look
ing up to the wall, they saw that
an old hat upon peg was in flames.
They had no sooner thrown it out
than towel on the opposite side
of the house began to blaze, though
no visible means of ignition existed
in the house and Mr.. Mckee, had
in his pocket, out in the field, every
match upon the premises. There
had been a score or more Of similar
unaccOuntable fires in the house.
Hence Mr.. McKee's precaution.
These manifestations have nearly
driven the family crazy. They
have moved things out of the
house and guarded the occupied
rooms, bus all to no avail. The
subject has sci the community by
the ears. Nobody can have the
slightest doubt, except as to the
cause. The manifestations in q
hundred forms are facts. Mckee
is not a supernaturalist, yet he
doesn't know what to expect
next.

The Abundance of Buzzards.

Albany, Ga, News.
BuzzardS are multiplying rapid
ly in this country under the pro =
lection of the law and the utter
want of excuse or inclination for
killing them. At times they must
be reduced to desperate straights
for food. The consequence is
that they congregate in droves
around the cities and do excellent
scavenger work. The fishermen
are very much annoyed over their
depredaticns at the traps in the
creeks above the city. The fish
cannot remain long in the trap
without attracting attention of the
buzzards, which will eat it unless
frightened away. The bad oder
that hangs around the buzzard'r
very name is the suggestion Of ite
horrible habits, but it may yet de-
velope the taste of a hawk in the

and Badly Hurt.
Atlanta Journal
A small negro boy was almost
killed Yesterday afternoon by being
dragged by a CIV.
George Williams, a negro boy
who is employed by DR.. Robert
Westmoreland, was sent out to
Craze a COW yesterday afternoon.
He selected cool and shady spot
near where Pulliam street inter
sects Georgia avenue and fastening
the loose end of the rope around
his waist, stretched himself upon
the grass and went to sleep.
Just before sunset the COW cone
cluded to 60 home, and started of,
dragging the sleeping herdsman af.
ter her. George, suddenly awak-
ened from a sound sleep, began to
scream, and this frightened the
animal and she changed her walk
to trot. and finally struck into a
mad run down Pullman street. -
The frantic COW and the yells OF
the frightened boy attracted the
attention of everybody on the
street, and people rushed from their
houses and viewed the spectacle
with establishment. 1t was difficult
to tell what the COW was running
away with, for the boy was on his
head a moment, then on his feet,
now sliding up hill on his stomach,
and the next moment going head
foremost down grade. When the
COW reached an open lot on the
rear of DR.. Westmoreland's resi>
deRce, she lett the street ard start
ed across the field.
The boys head became jammed
in bush and the cows progress
was suddenly checked. A large
crowd came to the boys rescue, and
it was thought first he was dead,
and it was SO reported this morn
ing; but, although bruised and
much stirred up, George was able
to get up this morning and exer-
else his sore limbs.

Americas Recorder: A gentle

herd of jersey cows, and who gives
them the best of food and atten-

was milking them ahead of the
servant whose duty it WIS to attend
to it, determined to watch mat

himself in the stable yard late one
evening, he waited patiently until
their return home, in hope of
catching the thief. He had not
long to wait, nor was he troubled
to determine where the loss in milk
was, for as soon as the herd enter
